That seems to be in the right ranges

Last question for the pros... What's the best salinity level?

1.0264 SG or 35 ppt is NSW (natural seawater) so that's always a common recommendation for reef tanks. Some people keep FO (fish only) tanks at lower salinity.

Your phosphate is quite high. Is 0.25 ppm the lowest reading on the test kit that you're using? Are you saying that there is color in the test tube, but it is less than the lowest reading?

Me too. It's embarrassing. I even paid $250 for a Prizm protein skimmer in the mid-90s.
